Microbiol Resour Announc. 2021 Apr 8;10(14):e00108-21. doi: 10.1128/MRA.00108-21.

Abstract

Polyomaviridae members are DNA viruses that infect a variety of species. Since the first polyomavirus was isolated in 1953, technological advancements have led to the discovery of many polyomaviruses in multiple species. The Polyomavirus Episteme curates data about each polyomavirus, drawing from public databases to present known taxonomic, genomic, and clinical information about polyomaviruses.
